EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back in time to Purton Station, nestled in the picturesque county of Wiltshire. The image showcases a nostalgic scene as we gaze towards Swindon, capturing the essence of this once-thriving railway hub. The focal point of this snapshot is undoubtedly the impressive road bridge that spans over the tracks, connecting both sides with its sturdy arches and intricate stonework. Its presence adds an architectural charm to an already enchanting landscape. As our eyes wander further into the frame, we are greeted by quaint station buildings that exude a sense of history and character. A prominent feature within this photograph is the nameboard proudly displaying "Purton Station". It serves as a reminder of a bygone era when train travel was at its peak and stations like these were bustling hubs for commuters and travelers alike. This simple yet significant detail evokes nostalgia for those who remember or have heard tales about Purton's vibrant past. Opened in 1841, Purton Station served as a vital link between towns and cities until its closure in 1964. Though no longer operational, this image immortalizes its legacy, allowing us to appreciate not only its physical beauty but also reflect on how it played an integral role in shaping local communities' lives. As we admire this remarkable photo print, let us transport ourselves back to an era where steam trains chugged along these very tracks while appreciating the rich history preserved within each element
